Job Description

Seeking a hands-on Mechatronics Engineer to accelerate the development, prototyping, testing, and production implementation of industrial equipment and automation projects. Working under the direction of our engineering lead, this individual will transform product concepts, existing designs, and engineering requirements into working hardware and complete manufacturing documentation. This position combines mechanical design, electrical integration, component selection, manufacturing engineering, and practical problem-solving.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated proficiency with SolidWorks, including assemblies and manufacturing drawings.
• Experience designing and building mechanical or electromechanical equipment.
• Practical understanding of gear motors, pumps, power transmission components, electrical motors, sensors, and basic controls.
• Experience selecting and specifying commercial components for integration into manufactured products.
• Experience producing engineering BOMs and manufacturing documentation.
• Familiarity with machining, sheet-metal fabrication, plastics, and mechanical assembly.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Ability and willingness to work directly with production and physically build prototypes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Industrial automation and machine vision.
• PLCs, microcontrollers, and embedded controls.
• Experience with small industrial equipment or OEM product development.
• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/DFA).
• Test fixture design and quality automation.
• Familiarity with Python or other programming languages.
• Experience evaluating component suppliers, alternative parts, and product cost reductions.
• Experience working in a small manufacturing company where engineers participate directly in product builds.

Key Responsibilities-

Mechanical Design & Product Development

• Develop and modify SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
• Design fixtures, mechanisms, brackets, enclosures, and electromechanical assemblies.
• Specify, evaluate, select, and integrate purchased components used in Zebra products, including gear motors,
• pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, couplings, seals, tubing, valves, and related mechanical and electrical components.
• Evaluate component performance, reliability, compatibility, availability, cost, and suitability for operating conditions.
• Research alternative suppliers and equivalent components to improve product performance, reduce costs, and minimize supply-chain risks.
• Develop component specifications and support testing and qualification of replacement parts.
• Improve existing products for reliability, manufacturability, cost, and ease of assembly.
• Support prototype fabrication, assembly, troubleshooting, and design refinement.

Electrical & Automation Integration

• Integrate motors, sensors, switches, cameras, lighting, and electronic controls into mechanical systems.
• Develop wiring diagrams and electrical documentation.
• Assist with machine vision, inspection automation, and product testing systems.
• Support integration of control electronics, microcontrollers, and PLC-based equipment as appropriate.
• Evaluate electrical components for compatibility, performance, reliability, and cost.

Manufacturing & Documentation

• Create and maintain accurate engineering bills of materials (BOMs), including manufacturer part numbers, specifications, approved suppliers, and suitable alternatives.
• Produce production-ready drawings and assembly documentation.
• Develop clear, illustrated work instructions, inspection procedures, and test protocols.
• Support engineering change orders, revision control, and product documentation.
• Work directly with production personnel to improve assembly processes and resolve manufacturing problems.

Project Execution

• Translate engineering priorities into defined tasks and deliverables.
• Independently execute assigned work under the engineering lead’s direction.
• Procure or coordinate procurement of prototype components.
• Assemble, test, and validate working prototypes.
• Maintain organized project records and communicate progress, technical issues, and next steps.
